This provision addresses a recognized harm category associated with AI audio synthesis, specifically the creation of intimate or degrading audio content depicting real individuals without their consent. Under this clause, such use cases are prohibited and subject to platform enforcement.
Interpretive note: The document does not specify detection or verification mechanisms for non-consensual intimate audio, creating ambiguity about how this prohibition is operationally enforced prior to content delivery.
This provision establishes that users may not generate audio content depicting or simulating intimate acts involving identifiable individuals without their consent, and may not produce audio content designed to harass or harm specific people. The agreement treats this as a prohibited use applicable to all account types.

"You may not use ElevenLabs to create non-consensual intimate audio, including content designed to harass, humiliate, or harm specific individuals.Excerpt from ElevenLabs's Safety Policy
1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Non-consensual intimate audio content intersects with emerging state laws addressing AI-generated non-consensual intimate images and audio, including statutes in California, Texas, Virginia, and New York. The FTC Act Section 5 applies to platform representations about safety and harm prevention. In the EU, GDPR obligations regarding special category data and the AI Act's provisions on prohibited AI practices may apply to systems used to generate degrading content about identifiable individuals. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The document's prohibition is consistent with emerging legal obligations, but the enforceability of this provision depends on ElevenLabs' detection mechanisms for non-consensual intimate content, which are not fully disclosed in the document. Enterprise customers deploying the platform in consumer-facing contexts should assess whether their own acceptable use policies and moderation workflows provide adequate downstream protection. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California, Texas, Virginia, and New York have enacted or are advancing legislation specifically addressing AI-generated non-consensual intimate content. Illinois BIPA may also apply where voice biometrics are used in conjunction with intimate content generation. EU users may have additional protections under GDPR's dignity and data subject rights provisions. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Vendor agreements should confirm that ElevenLabs' moderation systems include detection capabilities for non-consensual intimate audio and that breach of this provision triggers defined remediation procedures. Procurement teams should assess whether the platform's content moderation disclosures satisfy applicable transparency requirements for AI systems used in consumer contexts. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Enterprise customers should include non-consensual intimate audio prohibitions in their own acceptable use policies and should document how end-user complaints or reports of such content are escalated to ElevenLabs. Privacy impact assessments for deployments involving voice generation should address the risk of misuse for non-consensual intimate content production.
